Cuonzo Martin takes his team to the NCAA Tourney and gets them to the Sweet 16. But he is hated and never supported by his fanbase.
Butch Jones goes 5-7 (2-6) and misses a bowl game (which should never happen at a school like Tennessee). Yet he is already loved by the fanbase.
How does this make any sense?

Martin took over a program that had made 6 straight tourneys.
Jones took over program that missed a bowl game 4/6 years.

Tennessee is a shite school with shite fans and the ugliest colors I've ever seen.

because martin sucked arse. Under produced all year long, not consistant, had a fluke 16 run and thank God we didnt pay him and be stuck with this trash for a coach

I know people talk a lot of shite on here, but Im starting to believe some of you don't know what rebuilding is. You can't expect a team that is in the beginning stages of rebuilding to dominate.

They think they're equal to schools like Duke or UNC or Syracuse in terms of Basketball.

It seems UT fans had made their mind up on Cuonzo before this season started. Truth be told, most had their mind made up on him the day he was hired because he wasn't Bruce Pearl.

Because basketball is the new football at UT. Bama made their arse quit.

1. Martin wasn't hated by fans. A few criticized him and an even smaller number wanted him gone. MOST however were happy with him. 2. He was offered both an extension/raise by UT.
Try again. Next time with facts.

Two Reasons:
1) Expectations
2) Recruiting

It isn't true that Cuonzo was "never supported by his fanbase". When he finished his first season in 2nd place in the conference (when they were a preseason pick to finish 11th), most fans thought that this reaffirmed that he was the right coach for the job. Then things started to crumble. Yes, UT made it to the sweet 16 this season, but this was the first season they made it to the NCAA tourney under Martin's watch.
A lot of UT fans had high expectations for this team. That began to fade after the season started to go into the tank. Remember that on February 23rd, UT was 6-7 in the conference and 18-11 overall. They had just been swept in the regular season by aTm and had lost 5 of their last 7 conference games (including a 4 point loss to a Vanderbilt team with 7 scholarship players). UT made a late run, and fans began to ease up...but the trust wasn't there on either side.
Jones came in after the Football program had been decimated. He faced a top 10 schedule and his teams showed improvement over what Dooley had been putting on the field. He followed that up with a top 10 recruiting class.
Martin had to follow Pearl, while Jones followed Dooley. Expectations were not the same for the two.

I wanna laugh at UT but honestly I envy them. They make it to the Sweet 16 but don't wanna crown Martin. UGA makes the NIT with a far inferior coach and we extend the contract.
Meh.
ETA: nvm, saw UT offered him an extension. Props withdrawn.

I'll put it to you this way:
They have this bullshite support our coach mentality or else. They run off real coaches (or candidates) only to be replaced by bullshitters and yesmen. Coach bullshite is a prime example because plain and simple: he is not a Dooley and has this fraudalent philosophy of family.
The program is getting destroyed by outsiders and thousands of fans have left the fanbase since 12/7/2012.
The beloving of a bullshitter is just proving everybody in the SEC why they have one of the most dumbest fanbases in America.

I just didn't understand him turning down Marquette, but taking Cal.
